Cavemen were probably confused by creation
"The caveman looks like Vincent, Danny Davito's character from Twins. Oh and funny too. If this cartoon lasts for 4-5000 years it will be sacred. Hahaha."

Kevin Marks replied to Cathleen Sessions's discussion 'Christmas culture vs religion'"This is an interesting topic for discussion. The easiest way I can think of to relate this point to my closed minded christian friends is to ask them:
If a jewish person were to wish you a happy haunakah, would you be offended?
If they are so…"
Kim replied to Kevin Marks's discussion 'Where do I go from here?' in the group Coming Out Godless: What's Your Story?"I hope this is a wound that time will heal for you as it did for me. I felt that guilt as well. When loved ones reacted poorly to my "coming out", I felt like I had hurt them perhaps unnecessarily.
One point that a fellow atheist pointed…"
Kevin Marks replied to Ava Wilson's discussion 'Are they in it for the money?'"Just as a thinking point:
For years after my wife and I stopped attending church, we received calls asking why we were no longer tithing. However, we never one received a call to ask why we were no longer attending.
Thus tells me a lot about…"

Kevin Marks commented on Kevin Marks's blog post 'Where do I go from here?'"My profile does indeed indicate that I am married.

Emmy Ellison commented on Kevin Marks's blog post 'Where do I go from here?'"You should feel no guilt. The people who feel a certain race or sex is inferior feel no guilt. Killers rarely feel guilt.
